Tasting Notes

The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 15 Feb 24
The 2009 Troplong Mondot has a deep garnet color. It prances out with showy notions of black cherry compote, boysenberry preserves, and candied violets, leading to a core of plum preserves, molten licorice, dark chocolate, and spearmint, with a touch of cast-iron pan. The full-bodied palate is so, so dense with firm, beautifully ripe, rounded tannins and exhilarating tension, finishing so, so long and achingly perfumed. Incredible.
Drinking Date: 2024 - 2044

Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 10 Oct 24
These were the years when Troplong was unashamed to show its full on power, and when I was at odds with many of the critics and scores. Expect here waves of cigar box, tobacco, coffee bean, incense, brambed fruit, bitter black chocolate, fig, dried fruits, incense. Plenty of concentration and swagger certainly, but it is monolithic, and lacks the easy joy of the vintage. 100% new oak, Michel Rolland consultant.
Drinking Date: 2025 - 2048

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Mar 19
The 2009 Troplong-Mondot has a completely over the top, gregarious and raisin-like bouquet that frankly comes as no surprise given the philosophy of the estate at this time. The palate is sweet on the entry with candied black cherries, cassis and cough candy, unlike Bordeaux in some ways with a rather cloying and alcoholic finish. Now it seems like an anachronism. Tasted at BI Wines and Spirits' Ten Year On tasting.
Drinking Date: 2020 - 2032

Bordeaux

Red Bordeaux, globally renowned, is crafted in France’s Bordeaux region from grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. These full-bodied wines feature dark fruit flavours, earthy and spicy notes, and often benefit from ageing. Top producers include Château Margaux, Château Latour, and Château Lafite Rothschild. White Bordeaux, made from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, offers styles from crisp to rich, with citrus and tropical notes. Sweet Bordeaux wines, like Sauternes, are famed for their rich sweetness and flavours of apricot and honey, with Château d’Yquem as a leading producer.
